Greetings ladyappleman: This is a great topic, I will give you a few thoughts on it. It has been suggested that the truths in the Old Testament which appear to be concealed, that the same trues are revealed in the New Testament. The events of the Old Testament cover a much greater time than those of the New Testament. It is important to remember that both Testaments are interwoven and would be incomplete seperately. When we consider the Old and New Testaments we find that Jesus Christ is the central figure and the ultimate fulfilment of the scriptures which were written of him. The risen Christ said to his disciples "These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms (writings) concerning me. In the Old Testament we are shown types, pictures and prophecies concerning the coming Messiah and Savior over a great period of time and in many different ways. The central theme throughout the Old Testament focuses on redemption by blood and is fulfilled in the sacrifice of Christ the lamb of God. Old Testament saints looked forward to the coming promise, they did not see it clearly, but by faith they believed God and died in faith.(Hebrews 11:13) We see here that it is through faith that we come to God whether we are from the Old or New Testament. Christ is the redeemer who died for their sins as well of those of us under the New Testament, who look backward to Calvary by faith. Is the God of the Old Testament different than the God of the New Testament? Some suggest that he is seen as a more loving God in the New Testament compared to the old. God is eternal, he is not subject to time and space. He is Sovereign, in absolute Control, he is Mercy, he is Grace, he is Love, he is Longsuffering, he is Holy, he is Pure, he is Truth, and he is Judge. (I may have missed some) God is infinite in all of his attributes. In the old testament in Gen1:1 "in the beginning God". In the New Testament we read "In the beginning was The Word" In the Old Testament we see his hand in creation, in the New Testament we are reminded of Christ "all things were made by him" In Genesis we see God's desire to communicate with humankind, we see his grace to humans after they became sinners by disobedience. Throughout the Old Testament we see the failure of humans in many ways and God again by his grace provides a way whereby they can be at peace with him. God is righteous and Holy, but sin must be judged. In the Old Testament we see the judgement of those who turned their backs on him and after much longsuffering he brought calamity into their lives. In the New Testament we see his holiness, righteousness and his love at Calvary when he punished his Son on the cross. In the New Testament we are reminded of judgment to come for those who reject Christ. God is still trying to communicate his love to us in these last days in his Son (Heb. 1:2)By his Spirit he deals with the hearts of men, he strives with them and is longsuffering, however, he has showed us by his word that time will end and the opportunity for peace with God will end. Were there specific questions which you had in mind? Peace in his Name Robert |
